1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,680
All
right, go ahead and open up with a word

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:09,760
of prayer then. Heavenly Father, thank
you so very much for the opportunity

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:14,080
you've given us together to serve our
community and to work to make it a

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,720
better place for all of us. We'd ask you
that you'd give us wisdom and

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,119
discernment as we make decisions that
are before us. We'd ask you that you'd

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:25,600
give us in your blessing hand as we
would again work to improve the

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:30,119
community for all of us. Pray that you
give us a spirit of unity, draw us

8
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:35,520
together. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
Amen. All right, go ahead and do a roll

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:43,520
call. Chris here.
Flo here. Betty here. Josh here. Kristen

10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:48,280
is absent. Um, she's not able to make it
tonight. Again, a motion to excuse.

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:59,039
Thank you, Josh. And you said Betty.
Second. All right. All in favor? All

12
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:06,240
oppose? Same sign. Motion carries.
going right on. Um been a little bit of

13
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:10,240
a hectic stretch to say the least and um
we've had a number of volunteers that

14
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:14,799
we're very grateful for. Uh they came
in, they volunteered their time. Um many

15
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,680
of them day after day after day and
we're very grateful for them. This isn't

16
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:24,320
a complete list. As a matter of fact, um
I uh I didn't even get my own wife on

17
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:28,799
here who spent some time down here. um
was down here for a day helping with

18
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:33,200
stuff uh in the utility position, but we
had Stephanie Geb, I hope I said that

19
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:37,360
last name right, guide. Thank you so
much, Stephanie Guy. Uh Renee Spencer,

20
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:42,960
Chris Bender, you were down here a
bunch. And then Mike and Alyssa, um

21
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:47,439
Eikleberry um were down here and they
volunteered their time and I think even

22
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:50,880
their mulch in in helping to work up uh
the area outside to make that look a

23
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,040
whole lot better than what it has. And
that's not a complete list. there have

24
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,560
been a lot of folks that have
volunteered their time to come down and

25
00:01:54,399 --> 00:02:03,040
help uh and keep the train on the tracks
and we're so very grateful for that. Um

26
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:06,799
so I want to make sure that we um would
uh would recognize them uh the way that

27
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:11,440
we need to, the way that they deserve to
be. So heartfelt thank you to everybody

28
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,440
who volunteered. And if I left your name
off the list and you're watching the

29
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,400
recording later, please forgive me. Um
again, not a complete list. A bunch of

30
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,680
hands helped and we're very grateful for
each one. Um, our phone systems are up

31
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:29,280
and running. We're grateful for that.
Um, we had oh, I'd say less it was less

32
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:34,160
than $1,000 in that. 974 I think is the
number and uh we got those um up and

33
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:39,040
running. We're we're happy about that.
Um and so just as a quick update there,

34
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,800
we did get those transferred. Uh the
landlines that needed to stay in place

35
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:46,239
with the security systems and all that,
uh those obviously stayed intact.

36
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,640
nothing was touched there, but we do now
have a much more reliable, robust phone

37
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:55,680
system. We're grateful for that. We do
have a new utility clerk. Uh Ashley

38
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:59,800
Krebs came on board and uh she's been uh
taken to it very very well and we're

39
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:06,000
grateful for that. Um
Dr. Vney and Frink um have agreed uh to

40
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:10,959
come on or to send us a proposal rather
that we can get before council um to act

41
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,159
as our fiscal officer. Um I think that
would be a wonderful thing for us to

42
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:17,920
entertain. I don't have a proposal from
that. They're pulling it together now.

43
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:24,879
Um but uh as soon as I have that
council, it'll be in your inbox. Um so I

44
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:28,640
think that's about what I have for the
moment on that. I don't think I'm

45
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:33,599
missing anything. Um but I do want to
take public comments and we have a few

46
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:39,760
folks here. One uh did indeed register.
That would be the Kelly's.

47
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:44,720
So grateful grateful for you folks being
here. Hi. Um, and so we'll just go ahead

48
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,920
and give you the floor. Um, council has
the web form you guys submitted, so

49
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,840
they're a little bit aware of what's
going on, but why don't you walk us and

50
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,840
council through it?

51
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:04,080
We come over about a year ago and about
Yes. cleaned out.

52
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:08,159
We have a estimate. Awesome. We got
another one this year. The guy just

53
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,959
came. Um, there was supposed to be an
ement paper we brought last year.

54
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:19,280
I would imagine we have it in a binder
somewhere. I hope.

55
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:25,160
We can't find out here. I don't know.
I'll give it to my neighbor guy who

56
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,160
stays up all night playing music.

57
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:35,880
So, I mean, it's we're getting with the
recent range on that.

58
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,880
Yeah. I hear you there. We've had a
bunch of it. Um

59
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:48,600
$4,550 looks like even. And am I reading
that handwriting right? Yeah. Okay. All

60
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,600
right.

61
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:58,720
800 yards repaired. Okay. Hopefully, it
won't be repaired, but that'd be great.

62
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:03,440
As wet as it is though. Yeah, you could
see it happening. Well, I mean we can

63
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:09,039
wait till it's dry. Well, fair enough.
Fair enough. Volcano live on top of the

64
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:13,479
hill.
We'll have a barn that's in the flood

65
00:05:10,479 --> 00:05:13,479
zone.

66
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:24,199
Is that
the trailer park or Yeah, it's it's

67
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:29,120
down. Yeah, kind of. It's
down. Yeah, it gets cleared out through

68
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:33,680
your front yard and everything. Yeah,
this is basically it's the storm sewers

69
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:38,400
in town. That's the same one that
somebody else was talking about that

70
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:44,759
runs through their yard. No, they
brought it up about a year ago, wasn't

71
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,759
it? Yeah. This is a different

72
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,600
Yeah. And and I'd have to go through the
minutes, but I believe council approved

73
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:57,199
to cover was it half the cost or we we
didn't hear the decision? Oh, we had

74
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:01,759
left here and yeah. Yeah, we didn't have
we didn't when we left last monthly that

75
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:08,039
was it. Well, how about hopefully
council can get your decision maybe. But

76
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:08,039
yeah,

77
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:19,120
it's mainly the one part is like
100%. And then we

78
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,680
split. Well, it's got it's got the
picture on the

79
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:34,000
back assessment through the picture.
Yeah. Okay. Part of like 25% of where it

80
00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:39,280
connects. Say there's here is 100% town.
Here is the uh runoff from the hill

81
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:44,960
rainfall or whatever. And then it goes
into one single line which is what we

82
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:49,840
paid part of on that. Plus our line we
paid full on that one. So, we're just

83
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:56,960
asking for the the main line from you
guys and then 3/4

84
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:01,039
of the rest of it. So, what's the to is
the total dollar amount what's on that

85
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:06,639
sheet that you're asking for? No. No,
it's a percentage of correct. Okay. And

86
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:12,880
that would be when he did it. I'm sorry.
When the key did it, we paid like 25% of

87
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:17,759
what connected for the straight line's
in and then the straight line. Okay. So

88
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:24,400
you're asking us to cover the 75 the
bound to cover the 75%.

89
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:29,919
Correct. Okay. Got it. Of this. Well,
the

90
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:37,199
750. Can I just Yeah. Yeah.
You can speak to it in terms of dollars.

91
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:41,360
Yes. So here is where the town that's
all the runoff in the sewer, right? Or

92
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:46,440
not the sewer, but the storm. This is
100%.

93
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:52,960
So that would be like 750 I believe it
was. So this is where we have to cover.

94
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:58,800
Okay. This is this what comes down
through your yard. This is they both

95
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:02,879
come down through our yard.
Where is Wood Street? That's what I was

96
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,919
That's
No, no, I know that. But I'm trying to

97
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:11,199
understand where this is because you say
the pipe. Is this the pond? Yes. So the

98
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:15,720
pond's here. Okay. the phone pole when
you got me. This is the the V on our

99
00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:19,840
side. Gotcha.
Okay. The phone pole I thought was the

100
00:08:17,919 --> 00:08:25,360
phone pole on Wood Street. So that's why
messed up. So this is the culvert pipe.

101
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:29,199
This is Dr's pond. Yep. Okay. So this is
what the town storm. Yep. This is the

102
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:34,320
storm. So there's no And then this is
75%. So then this is yours. This is the

103
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:39,519
town. Correct. 75% of this should be the
town. Okay. And that and this is on both

104
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:44,640
sides of the driveway. Okay. And what
what's the number on that? Oh, it would

105
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:52,880
be and plus there's haul off
fee because the dirt has to go

106
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,720
somewhere. So this is the hauloff fee,
1,500 and it's 750 per

107
00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:08,320
section. 750 per section. Okay. So, so
2250 for all three sections and then

108
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:14,040
1,500 for the haul off, which we don't
know where to haul it

109
00:09:09,959 --> 00:09:19,160
off. And then this is if we repair the
yard if it's

110
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:23,120
damaged. So potentially this could come
off and

111
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:28,240
potentially who knows where this is
going to go. I think do you understand

112
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:36,080
that you guys?
But I think the mayor had said something

113
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:42,320
about it was a fellow town by the water
treatment plan about getting

114
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:46,000
I was going to say as far as the water
by the water tower itself. Yeah. Do you

115
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,200
remember saying that? Well, I remember
looking at options. Yeah, we wanted to

116
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:55,560
looking at a number of options. What
What about hauling the dirt off? Find

117
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,560
somebody that wants to fill dirt.

118
00:09:55,839 --> 00:10:03,839
I mean, yeah. I mean, we could we could
try to advertise that an option. Yeah,

119
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:08,240
it it would be an option potentially.
So, they're still going to charge you.

120
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:12,040
Yeah.
See, they're still going to have a whole

121
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:16,720
office fee probably no matter what. But
maybe depends on who wants the fill

122
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:21,120
dirt. True. If they got a dump truck, it
could be

123
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:24,920
abuse. Could be somebody that sells
field dirt, you know.

124
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:41,279
And there was a second quote.
There was two. Yeah. Two quotes handed

125
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:46,720
in in March with the copy of the ement.
And the other fellow was way higher. We

126
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:52,440
didn't go back to him to get the second
year. We just had the lowest bit.

127
00:10:55,519 --> 00:10:58,880
and we've used him before

128
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:13,279
so and WT McKe would not quote
it have any way to remove the D

129
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,640
cell which I

130
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:37,440
understand would have to be an actual
decision tonight, would they? I mean, I

131
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:41,760
suppose not. I just I I would feel some
level of personal onus on this. Uh

132
00:11:40,079 --> 00:11:45,279
because at the end of the day, it means
in all likelihood I'm the guy that

133
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:51,120
dropped the ball on it. uh because they
were here and we did talk about it and I

134
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:55,360
thought we made a decision, but I'm I'm
clearly I don't have that right. So, if

135
00:11:53,760 --> 00:12:00,320
if we're going to table it and we don't
want to make a decision tonight, um

136
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,040
that's obviously up to you guys, but I I
would want to make sure that um we do a

137
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:10,880
good job I do a good job at making sure
you folks aren't left in in the waiting

138
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:15,920
zone that long again. So, we could go
back in the paperwork maybe and see.

139
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:20,639
Yeah. and and maybe Seth, Leah, or Joan,
I know you guys are online. Uh any

140
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,639
thoughts from any of

141
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:30,360
you, you can they can hear us, right?
Should be able to, right?

142
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:34,279
Oh, Joan, you're muted.

143
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,880
Of course she is.

144
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:47,519
So, uh, Mayor, I have not seen any of
the documentation that came in. Um,

145
00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:53,200
since since I started on April 14th, um,
I didn't see anything with any of the

146
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:57,839
packets. So, um, as far as comments, um,
and I can't see the documentation from

147
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:01,760
here, but maybe Seth might have some
questions.

148
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:07,440
Yeah, I'm happy to review the
documentation. Um, regarding cost for

149
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:12,720
the fill dirt. Um, again, not a legal
opinion here, but I know some civil

150
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:16,560
engineers and some developers will
oftenimes take dirt from one project and

151
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:21,519
spread it somewhere else on the property
and regrade um that portion of the

152
00:13:19,279 --> 00:13:25,519
property to kind of dispel that haul
cost as well. So, they'll keep it, you

153
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:30,959
know, somewhere else on the property
until it's either a able to be hauled

154
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:36,160
away or spread back out um on that
property because then it's not really

155
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:41,839
going anywhere. It's staying where it
came from, just on point

156
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:48,160
B. But that's more of an engineering uh
issue than it is a legal issue.

157
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:52,639
Now, we don't have an issue with that.
But the last time we had to cost out of

158
00:13:50,399 --> 00:13:58,480
our pocket to get a yard rake to get all
the stone out of that dirt, and we're

159
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,160
quite frankly, we don't have the time
and we don't want to spend the money on

160
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:07,040
another yard rake to get all the stone
out. I don't we could we could dump it

161
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:13,120
under our maple tree as long as somebody
removes the rock from it.

162
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:18,000
Okay. Mayor Mayor, I just had a
question. Is this something that our

163
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:22,399
street department guys can do or is this
I again I can't see the documents that

164
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:26,800
you guys are looking at or exactly
specifically how it's being proposed,

165
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:34,040
but is this something that we have the
equipment and the staff to do?

166
00:14:30,959 --> 00:14:40,399
Ron and Mike could speak into
that. I let I don't think we have a big

167
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:45,199
enough to get down in there and get it.
We just got just the one dump truck say

168
00:14:43,199 --> 00:14:49,600
because he he knows more of the area and
he's seen it. I haven't seen So you

169
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:54,639
would say no. Do you know what big Mike
has?

170
00:14:51,839 --> 00:15:01,839
I'm just wondering I'm also thinking of
that's part Clinton Township along with

171
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:05,519
trade. Yeah. And I'm just curious as if
Clinton Township wouldn't take that dirt

172
00:15:03,839 --> 00:15:11,600
and haul along Cemetery Road where
they've been dumping out there. Anyway,

173
00:15:08,079 --> 00:15:16,079
so I mean I I think as far as council,
if this has been over a year, we

174
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:22,079
probably need to do something on it. I
guess um I'm not sure how

175
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:27,279
to move forward. So without having all
that Yeah. I just want to be super

176
00:15:23,839 --> 00:15:34,320
clear, Kelly. the the 2250 I I just want
to write down 100%, 25%, like I just

177
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:41,800
want to know just on this sheet which
like so this this 2250 you're asking

178
00:15:37,839 --> 00:15:48,720
cover what percentage of that? 75%
of 1500 and 750 on the

179
00:15:46,199 --> 00:15:56,880
straightaway. The part that comes into
the V 100% of it because 75% of that

180
00:15:54,199 --> 00:16:03,600
rain is coming through our creek. It's
not from down the hill or whatnot. It's

181
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:08,079
coming from the storm sewers and it's a
massive amount and we get junk and

182
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:14,560
debris and everything else that comes
down through.

183
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:19,199
Yeah. So, so the 1500 is 75% is the ask,
correct? And then the unit price of 750,

184
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:26,720
which would come out for a total on this
sheet to 2250 if I'm reading that right.

185
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:33,399
That minus 750 of that 750 is ours.
Okay. So, so 75% minus 750. So, 1500

186
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:45,440
plus,500. So, 1500
100%. We're not 100%. 750 100% the 1500

187
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:48,519
75% of the 1500 and then 75% of 750 for
the straightaway

188
00:16:50,199 --> 00:16:57,040
that's come on
up when you

189
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:02,480
maybe we could just do the math real
quick the 1500 needs to be put on hold

190
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,480
well

191
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:12,959
that's So yeah, this is Wood
Street legs.

192
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:20,319
That's 100%. Okay. So what is what is
that? What is Okay. So we got 750. Okay.

193
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:26,280
Now this is supposed to be another 750.
Okay. So that's 75% of that. Okay.

194
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:41,679
Okay. Okay. This is ours. This is out of
the question. Okay. This 75%.

195
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,679
So, okay. Do you guys

196
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:50,880
do you guys deal with the township? We
talked to them. I don't know what we And

197
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:50,880
this would

198
00:17:54,360 --> 00:18:01,520
be% 24.
Yes.

199
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:08,280
So, so 3237
is is the ask assuming that we need that

200
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:14,480
correct,
right? If you are wanting to do

201
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:20,000
the yard that I don't know what the
rental cost is for a rate or whatnot or

202
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:24,240
the time and labor to do it. So, that is
an option. Okay. But this includes the

203
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:28,280
the the haul up here. No, it does not.
How much? This includes the haulup right

204
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:36,440
here. That includes Okay. So the number
3237 covers all. Okay. Well, 75. Okay.

205
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:50,240
Read those numbers and I'll make a
motion. Okay. So, uh,

206
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:58,559
$3,237 is the ask of a total that that
Yeah, that would be it. That's

207
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,440
everything. And they're and the Kelly's
are taking care of 750. They are taken

208
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,720
care
of. The the total bill is

209
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,960
45 $1313.

210
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:21,880
So
[Music]

211
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:27,280
I would move that we
pursue this contract with Big Mike's but

212
00:19:25,120 --> 00:19:34,960
also investigating whether the Clinton
Township will take the soil away at a

213
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:41,919
reduced cost or something for them
because I know they take soil. So Okay.

214
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:46,720
Okay. That's my motion. All right. I'll
second it. Thank you, Chris. All in

215
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,720
favor?
All opposed.

216
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,720
All right.

217
00:20:01,679 --> 00:20:10,640
Uh, Mayor Martin, can you just read back
what that motion was so I can write that

218
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:16,320
down correctly? Absolutely. Uh the
motion was to pursue the contract um for

219
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:22,720
Big Mike's which would include a
dispersement of payment uh to the

220
00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:26,919
Kelly's in the amount of $3,237
uh leaving them to come up with a

221
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:33,679
remainder of
$4,500 of the

222
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:38,799
$4,550. Um and then um that as a part of
that prior to um entering into uh this

223
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:43,520
contractor disperse some funds that we
connect with uh Clinton Township to see

224
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:49,360
if they would be willing uh to haul off
the dirt uh either for free or at a

225
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:55,280
reduced rate given their uh habit of
doing that in the past.

226
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:58,520
So sure we can read back the recording.
That's the great thing about having

227
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,679
recordings.
Um, all

228
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:11,679
right. And I will make a continue copy
of this.

229
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:18,240
Sweet. All right. I will hold on to it
and uh we'll we'll go from there. Okay.

230
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:22,400
Excellent. Thank you guys so much. And
and honestly, I'm sorry about that. I'm

231
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:26,360
sure that ultimately was my bad. So,
thank you for your patience.

232
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:35,440
Okay. Anybody else uh that is here would
like to address

233
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:45,440
council. All right. We'll go ahead and
roll forward then. Um

234
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:50,480
that that is why like I said was here a
year ago. I've heard some different

235
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:55,120
things and I tell the people keep coming
back to the council meetings. If you're

236
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:59,600
not satisfied, come back again. present
your problem again. I mean, I I I get

237
00:21:57,679 --> 00:22:03,440
it, but I also understand that they were
here. They went through the proper

238
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,480
channels then and in this case, I think
I probably just dropped the ball on it.

239
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:10,400
Well, that's what I'm saying. It
happens.

240
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:14,880
I'm human. Yeah. So, come back, you
know, and Sure. Sure. But they were kind

241
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:21,200
about it both times, so they appreciate
that. So, they're good people. No doubt.

242
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:28,000
All right. Um, have you uh council had
time to review the uh council meeting

243
00:22:23,919 --> 00:22:33,840
minutes uh from April the 21st, 2025?
Move to approve. All right. Can I get a

244
00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:40,039
second on that? Second it. Thank you.
All in favor? All oppose? Same sign.

245
00:22:37,679 --> 00:22:45,280
Motion carries.
Okay.

246
00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:52,960
Um Ron, police and administrative
report. Anything to share?

247
00:22:48,159 --> 00:22:58,880
just got great clean up on Monday and so
far we're good as far as the street.

248
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:05,520
Awesome. Awesome. And then you were
sharing something uh with me on a fire

249
00:23:01,159 --> 00:23:10,919
hydrant. We want to go ahead and
Yeah. Well, unless you had something

250
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:10,919
else on the police side.

251
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:20,200
We have a fire hydrant on 226. It's off
to the side of Sweet Haven that the fire

252
00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:27,159
hydrant is not working
properly. So, we got prices for a repair

253
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:33,840
kit for the hydrant and prices for a new
hydrant. The prices for a repair kit for

254
00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:33,840
the hydrant was

255
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,480
$3,97569. That was the new hydrant.

256
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:46,120
$3,97569. And then for just the repair
parts, $3,915.13.

257
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:53,760
Get a new one. Yeah. One way or another,
we have to remove the hydrant and put it

258
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:57,919
back on there. So, yeah, I just thinking
that probably the best bet is go new and

259
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:03,039
everything's new on it. And we have
another new hydrant instead of another

260
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:07,440
repaired hydrant. Right.
So,

261
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:13,360
go for it. I don't know. We have a map
of the hole on there's 90 something.

262
00:24:09,919 --> 00:24:19,720
They just flushed them. So they 90ome.
Just curious. It's like 96 or 98. Well,

263
00:24:16,799 --> 00:24:25,840
you know, just looking ahead at cost of
replacing if you have 100 hybrids, you

264
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:30,320
know. I'm just thinking that's all.
Okay. Yeah, they just flushed them. So,

265
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:36,640
we've got a pretty good idea on how many
they twisted. Okay.

266
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:41,679
And the other thing was just Kimble had
complained that the alley it's

267
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:51,559
um looking at the Eagle's Nest Eagle's
Nest

268
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,919
Lane that the
alley they had problems with the alley

269
00:24:54,080 --> 00:25:00,760
and they thought the alley was sinking
in and they had asked for gravel to be

270
00:24:58,159 --> 00:25:04,679
dumped. was supposed to be forward to
everybody, but the alley itself looks

271
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:09,440
like it's
fine. I don't know if they've got a new

272
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:15,919
driver or a bigger truck, but they're
going off the alley and into the right

273
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:20,720
away with the truck, and it's Where is
it? Where's that at? Eagle Nest Lane.

274
00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:23,400
Where's that? It's a very small alley
going out towards Sweet Haven. It's the

275
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:28,559
back
road. Okay.

276
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:33,840
Oh, Nick Nick used to have a property on
the corner there and they to down. It

277
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:39,760
was where the house burnt down.
That's on people's nest. Oh, anyways,

278
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:44,159
they wanted to put more gravel onto the
alley, but I think what they were

279
00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:47,919
wanting is gravel into this rideway,
which we can put gravel into that right

280
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:52,640
away, but the best thing would be to put
some gravel as a footer in there and

281
00:25:49,679 --> 00:25:57,039
then put some asphalt on top of it. But
I don't know, like I say, if it's a new

282
00:25:54,799 --> 00:26:01,360
driver or a bigger truck, why all of a
sudden they're have problems getting I

283
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:04,400
know they're trying to get around the
corner of that

284
00:26:02,679 --> 00:26:08,080
building. They're probably afraid
they're going to hit

285
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:13,720
it. It seems like they're always
changing drivers. I was going to say

286
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,720
who's building

287
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,120
this propert.

288
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:27,039
Well, I guess my question is, is it too
close to the alley? I just didn't know

289
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:32,000
how. It's probably been there for 90ome
years.

290
00:26:29,919 --> 00:26:35,000
Okay then. Definitely been there a
while.

291
00:26:36,159 --> 00:26:43,279
It's like the one
that's back here behind the firehouse.

292
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:46,880
That gray and maroon building that looks
like Ohio State Colors that's right on

293
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:50,799
the alley. It's been there forever.
Okay. We've got a couple of them and

294
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:55,679
we're starting to find more and more
with people selling their houses where

295
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,039
the neighbors buildings over on their
property a little and then they're

296
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:04,600
having disputes on well I want you to
buy that piece of property and

297
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,600
understood.

298
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:11,440
Okay. So that is in the rightway where
they're going over there. Do you want us

299
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:17,520
to do that or do you want us to tell
them see what the deal is with tell them

300
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:21,039
learn to drive or because they're It's
about the same time they sent that

301
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:25,039
letter that they put a note on one of
our big cans down at the sewer plant

302
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:29,760
saying that they weren't dumping the can
because it was too heavy. And it's the

303
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:35,200
can that comes off of our separator that
keeps the big regular big wheeled trash

304
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:38,640
can. And so when I called her, the
manager down there, they said, "No, it's

305
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:44,320
a new driver. I'll take care of it." And
they did. They're dumping it now. and

306
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:47,279
she apologized and okay but this may be
the same deal with a new driver and he's

307
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,000
afraid to hit the corner of that
building he's not familiar with the

308
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,840
truck and that's why he's getting way
over there but we can do something if

309
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:58,480
you want something to make that alley
wider I I would say let's start with

310
00:27:56,399 --> 00:28:03,760
asking the question did the truck size
change and is the driver new um we've

311
00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:08,320
been using Kimble for quite some time if
this hasn't been an issue to

312
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:13,440
date if the truck size didn't change
then we got a driver issue so Why don't

313
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:17,880
we start by asking that? Okay. I recall
the same lady that I called about.

314
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:27,120
That's it. All right. Do that need
action on the uh or you're just going to

315
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:31,520
do it. That doesn't need a motion or
anything to just do it.

316
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:35,240
Don't need a vote. Oh, okay. That's what
I was asking. So,

317
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:44,480
better to get the new one. Get the new
one. I'll second that. All right. All in

318
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:48,480
favor? I. All oppose. Same sign. All
right. Motion carries. And thank you,

319
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:54,799
Josh.
I seen the email for the uh link for the

320
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:57,440
Oh, yeah. lines and I came in, I got the
book, and I was looking in there because

321
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,480
I didn't remember the name of that
place, Arcadia, because I was going to

322
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:05,279
call them because they originally said
they were going to set us up with a

323
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:09,440
link. And I called Jed and said, "I'm
going to call Arcadia." and he said,

324
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:14,159
"Well, you didn't see the email
apparently, but that you took care of

325
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:20,720
it." Said Josh Benson took care of it.
Thank you, Josh. No problem.

326
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:25,360
Happy to help.
Good stuff. Thank you. Um, moving

327
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:29,679
forward there, school property, great
news there. Uh, spent a good amount of

328
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:33,440
time on the phone with Nate Shinderwolf,
uh, superintendent for T local schools,

329
00:29:31,679 --> 00:29:39,760
and, um, we're going to be getting back
a contract from them. um by the end of

330
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:44,480
this month and uh everything is uh
smooth sailing on that front. So, uh

331
00:29:42,159 --> 00:29:49,279
waiting to get that done, but got just a
few discussion points that uh he wants

332
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:52,320
to have with me surrounding that and
then then they're going to get us up and

333
00:29:50,399 --> 00:29:58,000
over that we can get to our solicitor um
and get before you guys. So, uh that's

334
00:29:55,279 --> 00:30:02,480
moving uh right along and excited uh
about that. Uh the next one is the solar

335
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,279
array discussion. Um I want to be
careful about what I say there, but I

336
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,120
will just say that uh we're in
negotiations with them uh to come up

337
00:30:07,919 --> 00:30:15,919
with an arrangement that I think would
be mutually beneficial both for um the

338
00:30:12,159 --> 00:30:19,600
solar company and also share. So um I
think we're nearing uh a close to those

339
00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:22,960
negotiations. Steph, you can correct me
if I'm wrong, but I think we're making

340
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:27,919
good headway there.
And I back Yeah, I agree. I sent over a

341
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:33,679
uh basically a red line with our
proposals um back to them. So, we'll see

342
00:30:30,399 --> 00:30:38,559
what they say. Excellent. Betty, you
were backing me up. On the school

343
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:44,320
property. Yes, ma'am. We do not have a
place to hide for tornadoes or anything.

344
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:50,240
Couldn't a school be used for that
somehow? Unfortunately, not. Um by the

345
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:54,640
time that discussions were open uh with
the school and school board um on the

346
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,559
property and trees and potential
involvement in the property um my

347
00:30:56,799 --> 00:31:02,080
understanding and and I may not get this
exactly right, but my understanding is

348
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:06,240
that brownfield dollars were already at
play uh where the school was concerned

349
00:31:04,159 --> 00:31:11,279
and um the village would not have been
able to show enough um fiscal

350
00:31:09,279 --> 00:31:16,240
wherewithal to bring those buildings up
to code. uh which means that they'll be

351
00:31:13,679 --> 00:31:20,000
donating the property um to the to the
village of Shre um I think there's a

352
00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:23,760
dollar amount involved Nate mentioned5
or $10 something like that but um

353
00:31:22,159 --> 00:31:29,919
they'll be essentially donating to the
village of Shre um but it will be green

354
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:34,360
grass ready to go um ready to build so
the the unfortunately the buildings will

355
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:41,279
have to come down uh that's beyond our
control so but um down the road um with

356
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:45,440
the plan that we we have um that may be
something that could be in the works. I

357
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:51,039
don't know. Um we're we're obviously
just at a 30,000 foot view with that as

358
00:31:47,679 --> 00:31:55,519
you know. Um so potentially. Yeah. Um
but you're right. There is a need that

359
00:31:52,799 --> 00:32:00,559
that we have in Sharie for that. So be
wonderful to be able to address that

360
00:31:56,799 --> 00:32:05,279
somehow. Um so and I don't know if Shre
Community uh church uh has I know they

361
00:32:03,919 --> 00:32:08,480
have a basement. I don't know if they
ever opened that up for that. We might

362
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:12,880
be able to reach out to them. Have they
ever done that to your Nand drawn during

363
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:18,000
Yeah, I I I don't know that they would,
but they offered the church for safety

364
00:32:16,399 --> 00:32:21,679
if something would happen at the school
as far as if mass shooting or anything

365
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,360
like that, but I don't know about any
kind of tornado shelter. And yeah, and

366
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,960
that's obviously not something that
would be on them to do, but I do know

367
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,720
they have the facilities in in the short
term, but um I I don't attend the

368
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:36,480
church. Don't want to speak for them.
I'm just thinking out out loud, I guess,

369
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:43,519
and maybe that'll get me in trouble. But
um yeah, there is a definite need. So,

370
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:49,120
okay. Um All right. Ryan, any update on
the irriation project? Not since you and

371
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:53,840
I last met with Okay. engineering
associates when we were discussed in the

372
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:57,679
building and so forth. Yep. And we did
get council decision over to them on

373
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:02,240
that. So, I if you haven't heard
anything, I haven't heard anything. So,

374
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:05,120
okay. Um and then uh the Herald Miller
Park, we're going to have to call

375
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:10,399
council a special cow meeting at some
point uh to discuss that. Um there is a

376
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:14,559
fair amount of paperwork and application
that needs to go into that 300,000. Uh

377
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:20,320
and we'll need council to make a
decision on what we want to do in

378
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:24,320
relation to that funding. um and and
whether or not we want to uh try to

379
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:29,120
figure out a way that given it's in a
flood zone, we want to try to put the

380
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:32,880
money into the Herald Miller Park or uh
do we want to go back to the state and

381
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:38,640
petition that they allow us to move it
up to the school property um and utilize

382
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:43,279
the funding there. Um so just a bug in
your ear um in relation to that. Um and

383
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:48,480
then one of our items down the road is
uh in our agenda is going to be to try

384
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:52,559
to set a date for that um special
council meeting and then we'll also

385
00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:56,159
discuss discuss committees uh in in that
meeting as well and try to get some

386
00:33:54,159 --> 00:34:00,240
active committees going uh which would
be good. So um Jill, am I missing

387
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:07,360
anything on the Herald Miller Park
there? Yeah, we just have a deadline to

388
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:13,359
spend that money by um I believe it's
July or August of 2026.

389
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:18,960
Um so I think it is uh something that's
critical that we need to get it

390
00:34:15,599 --> 00:34:25,440
addressed fairly quickly. Um as I have
shared with you and some of the other

391
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:29,839
council members that uh we had
originally uh had the Army Corps of

392
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:36,399
Engineers out. We did a sitewalk of the
Sharief Creek. They were originally

393
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:44,000
going to do a study and try to mitigate
uh some flooding um or the flooding uh

394
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:51,040
within the the Tree Creek corridor. Um
but I think we have that opportunity has

395
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:58,079
passed. Therefore,
uh I make a recommendation to the board

396
00:34:53,839 --> 00:35:03,839
that um we not utilize $300,000 in a
flood plane. I do not see FEMA giving us

397
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:08,720
uh a green light to build anything in a
flood plane. We would have to

398
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:13,599
uh we'd have to get a lot of permits. We
would have to go through a lot of red

399
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:21,440
tape to put 300,000 into a flood plane.
And I'm just recommending it to council

400
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:27,040
not to do that. uh to uh perhaps um take
that money, look at how we could apply

401
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:33,240
it to the school property after the
demolition is completed. Uh whether we

402
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:39,359
start enhancing playgrounds for the
children, enhancing uh any of the

403
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:43,440
existing ball fields that would be left.
Um and that's just going to be up to

404
00:35:41,119 --> 00:35:47,640
council and the committees to sit down
and take a hard look at that. But, um, I

405
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:54,240
encourage,
um, everyone, um, that serves on the

406
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:57,839
park and Rex committee, um, maybe we
could get together, uh, at a special

407
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:03,040
meeting and take a really hard look at
this to make sure that we're utilizing

408
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:09,359
that $300,000
um, to the fullest extent and apply it

409
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:14,880
to a project that we can have completed
by uh,

410
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:20,480
July, August of 2026.
Um, so, uh, we need to get to work on it

411
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:24,880
and we need to get to work on it quick
because if we, uh, if we don't, you

412
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:30,000
know, have that, we might be able to
request an extension. Um, and that's

413
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:35,760
that's a very good possibility. Um, the
state's typically really really good

414
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:41,760
about um, working with small communities
uh, for extensions. they don't like to

415
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:48,480
do it and um so if we can avoid going to
the state and asking for an extension uh

416
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:55,359
I I highly recommend that. Um but I also
feel that um um you know it's prudent

417
00:36:52,079 --> 00:37:00,000
that we we get to work uh as a uh
committees um the parks committee and

418
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,400
you and figure out what we're going to
do with that 300,000.

419
00:37:03,599 --> 00:37:09,680
Okay.
All right. But we can we can use it

420
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:14,480
other places. We don't have to use it at
the Herald Miller Park. Correct. We

421
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:19,000
would have to go back to the and ask
them to approve a change of scope. Um

422
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:24,760
even if it's to use it up at the school
property. So there would be a process to

423
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,760
that.

424
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:30,400
It'd be nice if they would grant you the
extension because you don't know how

425
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:36,240
fast the buildings are going to come
down. Uh, I know they I know their plan

426
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:40,960
was pretty quick, but I mean, look at
the high school. It's down, but the

427
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:46,400
cleanup's taking Exactly. Good old time.
It's fair. It's fair. I mean, not

428
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:54,480
necessarily saying they could close her
down here in a couple weeks and

429
00:37:51,359 --> 00:38:00,480
anything's possible.
I guess you that'll be determined what

430
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:05,040
they do there. Yeah.
Okay.

431
00:38:02,079 --> 00:38:11,560
All right. Um, then moving forward to
new business, I would say uh, uh, PO's

432
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:18,040
17552 through
17556. Um, if I could get a motion to

433
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,040
accept those.

434
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:33,720
Yes.

435
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:11,200
They'd be all the way in the very back,
Chris. So, you start with the very last

436
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:14,760
page and work your way forwards. Yeah,
that's where I went.

437
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:46,280
I'll pass
around and then I'll put back in the

438
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,280
book.

439
00:40:01,839 --> 00:40:05,560
didn't cost that much.

440
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:40,440
What have to be done for the charger off
that much for turn signal?

441
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:47,280
the turn signal. That's a lot of work.
The whole column, everything is torn

442
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:52,160
apart. That's not like the old school
like, you know, it's the lever. Okay.

443
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:57,599
Everything. That's why I was wondering
if was the lever or what was the signal

444
00:40:54,079 --> 00:41:01,160
itself was the biggest part of it. The
high dollar part.

445
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:10,400
I figured that's what it was, but not
sure. And then some of them are like a

446
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:14,960
half moon shape where they take part of
the throttle apart, put it in. That one

447
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:19,200
goes around the actual wheel nuts. They
had to pull the airbag in the steering

448
00:41:16,720 --> 00:41:24,280
wheel or take that one out, slide it
over, and put everything back on and

449
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:29,680
reset the airbag.
Okay. And yeah, I went as long as I

450
00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:31,760
could, kept bumping, bumping it. It kind
of

451
00:41:32,839 --> 00:41:39,280
just it wasn't as obvious to that day
that day, but at night time you can

452
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:43,270
really tell
[Laughter]

453
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:50,680
when. But it's the turn
signal, the high beams, and the

454
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:57,480
windshield
washer washer fluid and brighter all on

455
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,480
that one. I think

456
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:08,640
And it rained a day after I was hit and
my ring and I had to pull the fuse to

457
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:11,640
the wipers to get the wipers to shut
off.

458
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:22,480
Make a motion on that one. I make a
motion to pass. All right. Thank you.

459
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:26,160
Chris, can I get a second?
Go ahead.

460
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:31,440
We'll give it the full.
All in favor?

461
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:36,640
All oppose. Same sign.
Mayor Martin, if if I may, when you are

462
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:42,400
accepting those motions, if you could
call out who made the motion just so we

463
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:48,960
can pick it up on the recording. Sure.
Thank you.

464
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:52,440
All right. Um, March and April 2025
expenses, revenue, fund reports for

465
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:59,160
review.
Um, we've got down Leo on this. Lee, did

466
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,160
you have some comments on those?

467
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:07,119
Um, not really on the ex I mean, I guess
some of you are new and you might not

468
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:10,920
have seen these before. So, um, just
kind of an overview on the financials

469
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:16,000
themselves.
Um, this is normally what we give every

470
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:20,440
month after the reconciliation is
complete. A fund report, a revenue,

471
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:26,720
expense.
Um you can see on the fund report like

472
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:31,280
what the current balance is as of April
30th and then that encumbered amount is

473
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:37,040
current purchase orders that are open.
Um so then that available balance is

474
00:43:33,839 --> 00:43:42,079
what is left after those purchase orders
if everything was to be paid on those.

475
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:46,880
Um, the big thing to look at on your
revenue expense is you can see there's a

476
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:52,000
percentage column on both of those that
kind of show you where you're at at that

477
00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:55,839
point in time. Um, as to what percentage
of the revenue you've collected versus

478
00:43:54,000 --> 00:44:01,000
what percentage of the expenses that
you've collected. Um, I haven't done a

479
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:04,599
deep dive into this
um, just trying to get everything caught

480
00:44:03,359 --> 00:44:10,400
up.
But basic well on a basic overview

481
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:17,720
everything right now looks to be pretty
well off. Um there's nothing alarming

482
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:23,040
sticking out here. Um fund balances are
relatively at a good spot um without

483
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:27,319
taking a deeper dive into it which I
plan to do here in the near future.

484
00:44:39,359 --> 00:44:46,560
All
right, sounds good then. And Seth, I

485
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:51,960
need a motion. Oh, I'm sorry. I Sorry,
mayor. So, Leah, basically just for just

486
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:59,359
general
uh for council, we have three new

487
00:44:55,599 --> 00:44:59,359
council members.

488
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:07,680
Um, in looking at the revenues and
expense statements,

489
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:14,000
um, there's there's been, um, there's
there's been, uh, a lot of, uh,

490
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:19,520
speculation, one might say, uh, within
the community that, uh, we've heard

491
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:26,640
things like bank we're going, we're
bankrupt. Is that a true statement?

492
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:32,960
That is not.
Thank you. Um the village at this point

493
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:37,920
in time it's in good standings.
Thank you. And we are within budget. We

494
00:45:35,839 --> 00:45:44,000
are not over budget and we are not
expending. We are not spending outside

495
00:45:40,079 --> 00:45:47,760
of our budget limits. Is that correct?
That is correct. We are actually at this

496
00:45:46,079 --> 00:45:51,560
point in time through the end of April
we are under budget.

497
00:45:51,839 --> 00:46:02,359
Thank you Mayor Martin. I would like
that um uh just reiterated uh in our

498
00:46:00,079 --> 00:46:08,359
minutes that we are under
budget, that we are not bankrupt and

499
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:15,200
that the village is operating smoothly
financially and this comes from um our

500
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:21,440
accounting firm uh Barney and Frink. Um
and uh I I think current council should

501
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:25,839
be very pleased um for where we're at
and what we've come through over here

502
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:33,520
the past couple months and um how we are
being fiscally responsible as uh as the

503
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:38,880
leadership that um uh that the community
is relying on and um I'm very proud of

504
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:43,040
your leadership. very proud of seeing
what's happening with our budget and the

505
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:46,480
decisions that are being made and this
council and the council moving forward

506
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:49,480
should be very proud of of this
accomplishment.

507
00:46:51,119 --> 00:46:58,480
Yeah, I I think I would echo that. I've
I've heard some rumblings um here and

508
00:46:56,319 --> 00:47:02,640
there of of people saying that we're
going under, we have gone under, we're

509
00:47:00,319 --> 00:47:06,960
bankrupt, and it's it's just utter
nonsense. I I would really like to think

510
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:10,560
somebody would just reach out and and
ask. Uh but people seem much more

511
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:16,720
willing to type on keyboards than they
are to ask questions. And I think that's

512
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:20,720
a crime shame. Um so uh for for those
and and for the record, I would say

513
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:24,480
absolutely the the case. We're we're not
in bad shape right now. I'm not saying

514
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:28,960
we don't have some high hills to climb
in the coming years. We certainly do,

515
00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:33,200
but we're certainly aware of those and
uh are working extremely hard uh to try

516
00:47:31,839 --> 00:47:37,440
to make sure that we're navigating those
waters the absolute best we can. So, um

517
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,839
very grateful for everybody who has a
hand in that.

518
00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:48,560
All right. Uh Steph, do I need a motion
on the bank

519
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:53,680
reconciliations and expense um expense
revenue fund reports?

520
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:57,359
Maybe a motion to accept the bills and
pay the bills.

521
00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,640
All right, I'll take one of those. A
motion to accept the bills, pay the

522
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:03,920
bills. A motion to accept the bills, pay
the bills. Thank you, Josh, for making

523
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:09,880
that motion. Betty, thank you for
seconding. All in favor? All oppose?

524
00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:15,040
Same sign.
Carries. That takes us down to the

525
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:20,640
current uh loans and liabilities for the
village of Shreve. Uh Joan, I I had to

526
00:48:18,319 --> 00:48:26,880
ask you to kind of pull some of this
together. Um, we we have uh saved a

527
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:32,559
contract that was entered into but not
officially signed before I took office.

528
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:37,599
I don't think we've we've incurred um
any I mean we've gotten a lot of grants

529
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:40,800
but but the village certainly has debts
um and some loans that are out there and

530
00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:44,079
I'd asked you to kind of for the new
council members pull some of those

531
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:49,920
things together. Did Did you have a
chance to do that? I did. I just uh

532
00:48:47,839 --> 00:48:56,319
unfortunately I didn't have my file with
me. So, I'm just and Leah helped me pull

533
00:48:53,200 --> 00:49:04,160
this together, but we ran um the numbers
and I think the new council members um

534
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:08,400
need to be aware of this that um prior
uh to uh

535
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:13,599
2024. Right now, the village has over

536
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:22,079
$560ome,000 in
loans and we are paying on that. And I

537
00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:27,200
um also uh you think it's really
important that we get that information

538
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:32,960
out there into the public. Um these were
loans for various projects um that um we

539
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:38,920
kind of want to do a little bit of a
deeper dive into uh and and get that

540
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:46,640
published on the website uh for
transparency. Um I do know that um these

541
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:52,640
are not related to any grants that we
wrote and submitted and got funded for

542
00:49:48,720 --> 00:50:00,240
in 2024. Uh all grants that were
submitted in 2024 were 100% funded. So,

543
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:05,280
um I think uh just for transparency, we
will uh do a little bit of a deeper dive

544
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:10,920
and get this published on our website so
the community knows that u right now the

545
00:50:08,319 --> 00:50:17,920
village has that amount of money out in
loans. Uh and um I assume that they're

546
00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:23,280
for water projects over the years um and
but we are paying on them and as you

547
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:29,280
just heard our budget um is handling
those loans. But I also think moving

548
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:34,960
forward before council considers taking
on any more loans or at least this

549
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:41,839
council um that we uh we look at our
funding um going forward and instead of

550
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:48,559
just taking out loans to take out loans
that we keep continuing to look at grant

551
00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:54,960
funds to fund uh projects and work hard
with our state representatives

552
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:58,440
um and legislators on trying to leverage
more grant money.

553
00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:05,760
Absolutely. Thank you uh for making us
aware of that. That's good. I I really

554
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:09,760
would like to see that deep dive as to
how long these loans have been on the

555
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:15,760
records and on the books and nothing's
been done about it by prior councils and

556
00:51:12,319 --> 00:51:21,280
mayors. Time to figure it out. Yeah.
Some of them have been there for for

557
00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:25,040
some time, I know. So, yeah. Um and and
so we'll we'll get that up and we'll get

558
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:29,359
it both for council and then also for
the public. But um you know and and just

559
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:34,240
to address that, I think Joan, you made
an excellent point in that that there

560
00:51:31,599 --> 00:51:41,599
are at times grants that come in that
have matching fund requirements. Um and

561
00:51:37,559 --> 00:51:45,520
and for us, the $2.5 plus million that
was brought in last year was brought in

562
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:51,359
fully funded. Uh the village didn't have
to shell out one plug nickel um for

563
00:51:48,079 --> 00:51:55,280
those grant programs. save um you know
the the time that we we paid you for

564
00:51:53,760 --> 00:52:00,400
which was a pittance compared to what we
got. So all right um I spoke with a

565
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:04,240
gentleman a couple of weeks ago maybe
not even that long uh from Julian and

566
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:10,800
Groo um they are the folks that have
handled our audits um at the village for

567
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:15,839
quite some time um good fella and um
they're they're excited to jump in and

568
00:52:13,119 --> 00:52:21,440
uh and complete the audit. um they have
uh what is it called? A an agreed upon

569
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:25,760
procedures um audit which is what we had
last time um and what we had the time

570
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:31,280
before that according to the guy that I
talked to. Um this is an agreed upon

571
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:34,559
procedures and abbreviated um and Leah,
I'm going to I'm going to relay what I

572
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:39,280
believe I understood the guy to say, but
if you if if in your experience you want

573
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:43,839
to correct me or clarify, please do. Um
you have my blessing to do so. Um an

574
00:52:41,599 --> 00:52:49,280
agreed upon procedures audit is more
abbreviated. Um they don't write an

575
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:54,640
opinion on uh the uh the financial
condition of the village. Um they're not

576
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:58,559
doing as deep a dive. Um the agreed upon
procedures is something that the state

577
00:52:56,000 --> 00:53:04,079
auditor's office puts out. Um he told me
that we still qualify um for the agreed

578
00:53:01,599 --> 00:53:09,920
upon procedures abbreviated, but he said
that if we would like to go with a full

579
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:14,160
audit um and kind of have them do a deep
dive into everything um within the

580
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:17,680
financials of the village that that we
could certainly do that. Uh they haven't

581
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:21,359
on their end submitted the paperwork to
the state. Um which means that if we

582
00:53:19,599 --> 00:53:25,280
would like them to do a full audit
rather than agreed upon procedures that

583
00:53:23,599 --> 00:53:29,920
we can ask them to do that and they'll
do that. Um, now the amount for the full

584
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:33,599
audit is $11,000. I'm speaking in rough
numbers. Um, and the agreed upon

585
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:38,920
procedures, which is abbreviated, is
roughly $9,000. So there's there's a

586
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:43,920
little bit over 3,000 or right around
$3,000 um in additional cost for the,

587
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:48,880
you know, between the agreed upon
abbreviated procedures and the full

588
00:53:45,839 --> 00:53:55,280
audit. Um, I would really love us to see
uh to see us um go ahead and get a full

589
00:53:51,839 --> 00:53:59,520
audit and just show everybody around. we
don't have anything to hide whatsoever.

590
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:03,200
Um get the full audit done. Um we're
going to have to have that done in two

591
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:07,599
years anyways. Um you only get an agreed
upon procedures audit um three times and

592
00:54:05,599 --> 00:54:12,640
then the fourth is mandated by the state
uh to be a full audit. So that's coming

593
00:54:09,359 --> 00:54:15,359
our way anyways. Um and uh I I would
like to recommend it's not my decision

594
00:54:14,079 --> 00:54:18,960
to make, but I would like to recommend
that we just get a full audit done. You

595
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:22,319
said it's coming up in a couple years,
but if we have it done now, we don't

596
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:26,079
have to have do it in two years. We'll
have to have it done every two years

597
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:30,640
anyways. Uh the state allows us to get
three abbreviated or agreed upon

598
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:35,440
procedure audits done in a row and then
after that we have to have a full audit.

599
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:41,440
Um so the the next audit that we're
going to have anyways will be a full

600
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:44,400
audit. Does that make sense? But this we
don't have to have it yet, right? We

601
00:54:43,119 --> 00:54:48,079
don't have to have a full audit. We're
going to get an an agreed upon

602
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:52,800
procedures audit at the very least
anyways. So we're on the hook for the

603
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:57,920
9,000 to get that audit done regardless.
Um, if we want to get a full audit done,

604
00:54:54,640 --> 00:55:03,359
it's an additional $3,000.
And Mayor Martin, if I could make a

605
00:55:00,559 --> 00:55:10,599
recommendation c to council, considering
that we've had now two fiscal officers

606
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:17,280
and with new staff coming in, I I highly
recommend to council to just spend the

607
00:55:14,119 --> 00:55:22,000
$3,000 and pay for a full audit. Not
that we think that, you know, anything

608
00:55:19,839 --> 00:55:26,319
that, you know, has been done wrong, but
I think for a new fiscal officer coming

609
00:55:24,319 --> 00:55:32,240
in that they would just want to know,
have that peace of mind that um, you

610
00:55:30,079 --> 00:55:36,720
know, everything's good uh, moving
forward. And Leah, I don't know if you

611
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:43,280
have an opinion on that, but feel free
to chime in on on your thoughts as well.

612
00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:47,119
I think if you did pull on it and made
it public, maybe it would squatch some

613
00:55:45,599 --> 00:55:51,599
of the
Oh

614
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:57,119
I think I think I think all we can
do is be transparent.

615
00:55:54,520 --> 00:56:02,720
Jeff, you made a motion to go with a
motion to go. Chris, you seconded it.

616
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:07,599
All in favor? All oppose. Same sign. All
right, I'll give him a call and say give

617
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:10,960
us the rundown. Big fella. That was
probably weird, but All right. Yeah,

618
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:18,400
he's we're going to give the full audit.
All right. Ordinance uh number two

619
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:23,200
um-2025. Um this is an ordinance
authorizing the mayor to enter into

620
00:56:20,079 --> 00:56:27,680
contract um to transfer easement or
other possessorary uh interest over

621
00:56:25,839 --> 00:56:31,640
certain sewage and water lines located
under parcel numbers 20-00706.0000

622
00:56:31,799 --> 00:56:35,680
000 uh comma

623
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,720
20-00706002 comma

624
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:51,520
20-2007
06005. Say that three times fast some.

625
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:55,920
All right. Um whereas a dispute exists
with respect to who owns uh an 8 in

626
00:56:53,839 --> 00:57:02,559
sewer line and the water lines that
services partial numbers 20. Uh I

627
00:56:59,599 --> 00:57:06,240
already read it. aware of those three.
Uh whereas at least one property owner

628
00:57:04,799 --> 00:57:09,920
believes the village must maintain the
said lines whereas nothing is currently

629
00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:13,200
on record indicating the village owns
possesses an interest in or otherwise

630
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,319
has a responsibility for the maintenance
of said lines whereas the property

631
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:19,920
owners have expressed an interest in
transferring their interest in said

632
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:23,359
lines to the village whereas the village
is willing to accept control and

633
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:28,240
responsibility over these lines because
such benefits uh the general uh health

634
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:32,240
and welfare of the village. Now
therefore be it ordained by the council

635
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:36,319
of the village of Shre Wayne Ohio uh as
follows section one the council hereby

636
00:57:34,559 --> 00:57:39,839
authorizes the mayor to negotiate and
enter into a contract with the necessary

637
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:46,160
property owners to obtain full control
of an 8 in sewer line and the water line

638
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:49,200
services parcel numbers uh no payments
are authorized for the acquisition of

639
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:53,359
said lines. The village will then be
responsible for the maintenance of said

640
00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:56,640
lines. Section two uh that this
resolution is in the best interest of

641
00:57:54,960 --> 00:58:01,440
the village of Shreve and its residents.
Section three uh that the four said

642
00:57:59,119 --> 00:58:05,760
recitals are rendered to the findings of
this council are hereby incorporated

643
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:10,319

644
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,920

00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,960

residents for the immediate
implementation of these rules. Provided

652
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:43,119
this council resolution receives the
affirmative vote of its members elected

653
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:49,440
or appointed council, it shall take
effect and be enforced immediately upon

654
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:54,720
its passage. Okay. So, I'll I'll jump
into this one a little bit.

655
00:58:51,599 --> 00:58:59,520
um the Walters property. Um I've done a
deep dive into this. I've I've been

656
00:58:57,359 --> 00:59:06,480
looking at it for some time, looked at
it again. Um I do think that whether

657
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:10,880
right or wrong, um that those um
homeowners were promised um certain

658
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:16,720
things, or led to believe certain things
by the administration of the time. Um,

659
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:23,319
and I I think that from my conversations
with Habitat on which I'm a board

660
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:28,720
member, um, that they would not bring in
um, a several housing developments like

661
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:34,640
that or several housing lots and then
connect them um, without something being

662
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:40,400
considered a main. Um, and so, uh,
essentially what we have is that sewer

663
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:44,640
line, um, on that property runs down. um
one property owner is subject to the

664
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:50,160
other. If there's an issue here and this
person uh has an a backup and a flood,

665
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:54,880
they have no way to force them to mess
with that 8 inch line to get it fixed.

666
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:59,440
They're just on the hook. Um there were
parts that were bought um at Shreve

667
00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:03,760
Hardware for that. We have record of it
in minutes um both I believe on the

668
01:00:02,079 --> 01:00:08,640
waterboard at the time and within
council um where that language was used.

669
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:13,359
It looks like an easement was started um
by the previous administration and never

670
01:00:10,559 --> 01:00:20,799
finished. Um whether right or wrong um
from a legal standpoint, I think that um

671
01:00:16,319 --> 01:00:26,640
it would be in the best interest for uh
council to just let us take care of take

672
01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:33,359
control of and take care of that 8 inch
line. That would be that would be my

673
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:37,000
thought. So one question before just to
lay this out. Does that 8 inch line go

674
01:00:35,839 --> 01:00:42,480
underneath their
houses? Just because if something goes

675
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:47,119
wrong and we and say it's under their
basement, we would be you well the

676
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:51,520
village would be responsible for tearing
up their basement and replacing the

677
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:56,799
concrete or anything. So they have they
would have laterals that go through the

678
01:00:54,079 --> 01:01:01,599
8 in. That is my understanding. Yes. Who
would have that information? Well,

679
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:05,440
there's no information. Yeah, we're
going to have to go down do some What's

680
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:09,280
that? Her water lines run under her. The
water Yeah, the water lines do. I know.

681
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:14,880
But um Well, those are the water lines
that her water lines that go into the

682
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:18,160
house. The two outside. The two in what
you're talking about. Yeah. But I was

683
01:01:16,559 --> 01:01:22,799
just I was just laying it out before you
made a decision that if they are if that

684
01:01:20,319 --> 01:01:26,319
8 inch is under those houses. I don't
believe that's the case. Ron, is that

685
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:30,799
under their house to your knowledge? Not
that I know, but I think it's right. Can

686
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:36,319
we confirm that before we I I would I
would absolutely take a motion with that

687
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:41,599
as a caveat. Yeah.
Go ahead. Sorry. On the legal side, one

688
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:45,200
thing we can do is um there's another
place where it's kind of similar where

689
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:51,760
there's a water line
um being moved by that. There's an

690
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:57,720
existing water line roughly 5 to 10 feet
away from an ingground pool. and another

691
01:01:55,200 --> 01:02:03,319
client just recently
maybe is

692
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:08,760
considering acquiring that line. And
so a term that was discussed was

693
01:02:06,079 --> 01:02:14,319
potentially
um you know making the personal and real

694
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:18,880
property of the property owner the
property owner's responsibility and the

695
01:02:16,319 --> 01:02:22,960
line the municipality's decision uh
responsibility. So, something we could

696
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:27,200
do here is say, "Look, we'll go in and
we'll fix that line that's running under

697
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:31,440
your house, but we're only responsible
for the line. We're not responsible for

698
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:35,839
your house." And we can kind of carve it
up a little bit language-wise to, you

699
01:02:34,319 --> 01:02:42,160
know, make sure we don't destroy their
house, but that the village is also not

700
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:49,200
absorbing and a cost that maybe the
taxpayers don't want to bear.

701
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:54,440
I I think that they already did the line
under their house because they had their

702
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:58,160
basement torn up and new line put
in. So they're talking about That's not

703
01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:01,839
the line we're talking outside. Right.
That's not the line we're talking about

704
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:06,680
right now. They're right.
This is the main line more or less

705
01:03:04,079 --> 01:03:11,960
getting it out there. So
right there two different stories that I

706
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:18,359
got. That's way before I was in this
area. One

707
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:23,240
was is that there's supposed to have
been there's two houses, but there were

708
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:28,559
supposed to have been
four. And one story they they got the

709
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:35,000
homeowners got was is that the reason
they did it and didn't do the lines out

710
01:03:31,839 --> 01:03:39,760
to the main like this was
because the

711
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:44,559
mains was not low enough and there
wasn't enough drop. Okay.

712
01:03:43,039 --> 01:03:48,920
I'm not sure how there's not enough drop
since they're on the hill. And then the

713
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:52,400
other story I got was because it was
Habitat and they were going to put in

714
01:03:50,799 --> 01:03:56,039
the extra houses and there was already
two

715
01:03:53,400 --> 01:04:03,359
there. They
ran a plastic line from that house down

716
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:08,240
to the main down here. That way it saved
habitat money because they only had to

717
01:04:05,599 --> 01:04:12,079
pay one tap fee. So Bruce said that's
good idea. You only have to pay one tap

718
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:16,480
fee instead of each habitat house having
to pay its own separate tap fee all the

719
01:04:14,319 --> 01:04:22,559
way down. Yeah. plastic. Is that a 8
inch line? Do you believe it's sticks?

720
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:27,440
So the the 8 inch line we're talking
about, is that

721
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:32,839
a carbon? Is it? I do believe it's
plastic. I I cannot state it for a fact.

722
01:04:31,119 --> 01:04:38,880
But one way or
another with prior administrator

723
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:43,039
administration agreeing on that, I I do
agree to probably should take care of

724
01:04:40,559 --> 01:04:46,720
it. Other than the reason the two
councils before were so scared of it is

725
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:51,200
because the material it was made out of
they were afraid of breaking it right or

726
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:55,599
when they come up to jet they jet from
the bottom they might blow sewage into

727
01:04:53,839 --> 01:05:03,280
this house trying to jet up to this
house since it's all in that all on the

728
01:04:59,119 --> 01:05:08,880
same light. Okay. I'm under the the
right assumption from what I've been

729
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:14,799
told. Isn't there a clean out at the
Walters house? There is there's a clean

730
01:05:11,359 --> 01:05:19,520
out there's a clean out for from their
line out to that line on the side of

731
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:25,119
their house. It's right out front by
their steps. That clean out only is for

732
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:29,920
here to here in the driveway. Yeah. I
thought that was the

733
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:33,200
water little miniature hide right there.
Oh, okay. Because I was told it was in

734
01:05:31,359 --> 01:05:37,920
the flower bed, but I wasn't told which
exactly flower bed it was in. And we

735
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:43,039
have we have we have jetted that, but we
just turned the jeter way down. So, we

736
01:05:39,839 --> 01:05:48,079
got Yeah, that's what I just heard. I
Yeah, I mean, and and you know, the the

737
01:05:46,799 --> 01:05:52,720
administration that I talked to at
Habitat, um the the individual that was

738
01:05:51,039 --> 01:05:58,079
there at the time is not who is there
now, but uh they said that would fly in

739
01:05:55,039 --> 01:06:02,559
the face of absolutely everything that
they stand for, operate by, and to to

740
01:06:00,799 --> 01:06:07,039
run it like that to save a couple of
bucks. I mean, you know, they they have

741
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:11,839
these projects fully funded. I can't see
Habitat doing that. Um, so I I think we

742
01:06:10,559 --> 01:06:14,960
just handle it and take care of it. I
think it's low risk and I think it's us

743
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:19,760
doing the right thing by a citizen. I
agree and I like Seth's, you know,

744
01:06:17,599 --> 01:06:22,480
little piece in there to protect us.
Yeah, I like Seth's piece in it to

745
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:27,119
protect us. I also think that it might
be a good idea to just maybe ask

746
01:06:24,559 --> 01:06:30,079
engineering associates to shore up um
some of those things. Um, ask some of

747
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:34,799
those questions, make sure that we're
thinking of it all the right way. Um,

748
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:38,160
and and uh given that as a caveat, can I
get the motion to accept the ordinance?

749
01:06:36,799 --> 01:06:41,520
Actually, it would be to suspend the
rules.

750
01:06:39,839 --> 01:06:46,240
Suspend the rules. All right. Thank you,
Chris, for that motion. Can I get a

751
01:06:43,039 --> 01:06:51,119
second? Thank you, Betty. All in favor?
All oppose? Same sign. All right. Um,

752
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:56,880
then I would entertain a motion uh to
accept um or to pass um ordinance number

753
01:06:54,640 --> 01:07:02,480
2-2025
um with the caveat that's been mentioned

754
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:07,200
uh by Seth and um the review by uh
engineering associates.

755
01:07:05,119 --> 01:07:15,920
Thank you very much.
a motion to accept with uh ordinance

756
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:21,119
2-2025 with uh sess revisions and
engineer. Sounds good. Thank you, Josh,

757
01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:27,039
for that um motion. Can I get a second?
I'll second it. Thank you. All in favor

758
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:31,039
say I. I. All oppose. Same sign.
Motion carries. A couple of quick

759
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:34,400
matters um that we've already kind of
discussed. We knew we would have to

760
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:37,480
circle back with some resolutions and
here they are in front of you.

761
01:07:35,559 --> 01:07:42,480
Resolution uh
8-2025 authorizing uh the participation

762
01:07:40,319 --> 01:07:47,039
in the ODOT road salt contracts awarded
in 2025. Um this is what we had

763
01:07:45,119 --> 01:07:52,799
discussed before. We tap on a few extra
loads. I invited it was four that right

764
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:57,039
uh four additional loads and so um we we
want to make sure we're not in a

765
01:07:54,160 --> 01:08:01,920
position where um we don't have salt for
our streets. So um this was something we

766
01:07:59,839 --> 01:08:08,000
had discussed already um but I would
need a motion to uh accept it. Motion to

767
01:08:05,599 --> 01:08:13,280
accept. Thank you, buddy. Can I get a
second on that?

768
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:19,640
Thank you, Chris. All in favor say I.
All oppose. Same sign.

769
01:08:15,599 --> 01:08:25,199
All right. Motion carries. Resolution
9-2025. Same story here. Uh this was

770
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:28,080
discussed um last meeting. Um we just
have a resolution kind of firming

771
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:31,279
everything up. Uh that would be a
resolution authorizing the mayor to

772
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:37,600
enter into the contract with Valley
Spray Service LLC for mosquito control

773
01:08:34,159 --> 01:08:42,960
program 2025. Um so I would like to
move. All right. Excellent, Jeff. Thank

774
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:48,400
you. Can I get a second on that? I'll
second. Thank you, Josh. All in favor

775
01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:55,920
say I. I. All oppose, same sign. All
right. Motion carries. Okay. Um the

776
01:08:52,799 --> 01:09:00,400
spring cleanup um would be on June 30th.
Uh we do have that posted online um and

777
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:04,400
we've shared that out to our Facebook
page as well just to try to get the

778
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:10,319
community up to speed on that. Um so
we've we've done that. Um we do have

779
01:09:06,719 --> 01:09:14,400
several letters um from uh Kimble that
have gone out to residents or will

780
01:09:12,159 --> 01:09:19,199
potentially. Um we're looking into that,
but um we have a couple of residents who

781
01:09:16,799 --> 01:09:22,719
are using Rumkey rather than Kimble. Um
Kimble is stating that that that is in

782
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:27,920
violation of the contract we have with
them. Um, I've spoken with Seth about it

783
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:31,120
and uh, we're we're looking into into
the contract and that piece of it. Uh,

784
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:35,040
but we certainly want to make sure that
we're not in breach of contract with

785
01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:44,000
Kimble. So, just to keeping council up
to speed on that. Now, is it okay in the

786
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:48,560
trailer park? I don't know offhand which
addresses were there um, were were using

787
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:53,040
it. I don't believe it was the entire
trailer court. I don't believe. Um Joan,

788
01:09:51,600 --> 01:10:01,520
you spoke with Kimble when they were
here. Is that right? Yeah. Um there are

789
01:09:56,159 --> 01:10:05,440
about five addresses. Um and uh I don't
have those with me, but I know we're

790
01:10:03,679 --> 01:10:10,679
getting ready to write the letters and
send out the letters with a copy of the

791
01:10:07,679 --> 01:10:10,679
contract.

792
01:10:12,719 --> 01:10:20,320
All right, there we go.
All right. Um, we've had a couple of

793
01:10:18,159 --> 01:10:23,760
public records replace that I'm just
going to bring into council and I'm

794
01:10:22,159 --> 01:10:28,640
going to read them real quick so that we
have them on record. Um, we're going to

795
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:32,320
be working to get these um, completed,
compiled, and done um, here within the

796
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:36,480
next two to three weeks as we're able to
do so with the heavy workload we have

797
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:40,320
elsewhere. Um, but we'll we'll certainly
make them a priority. One of them comes

to facilitate the search. Thank you for
your attention this matter. All right.

825
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:40,080
So, those we are working on. I'd say
within the next two, three weeks, we'll

826
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:45,040
certainly have those. Um, and we'll go
from there. Uh, council members that are

827
01:12:42,480 --> 01:12:48,159
new. Um, we have set up some emails for
you and before you leave, we'd love to

828
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:51,360
be able to get those on your devices,
get your password and all that so that

829
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:55,760
we can start communicating at a very
high level with you. So before we're

830
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:59,040
we're done and out of here, um after the
meeting, if you'd like to stick around

831
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:04,880
for just about five or so minutes, uh we
can get you up and running. Um all

832
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:08,880
right, uh servants uh uh line inventory
link was posted online. Uh we covered

833
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:13,280
that earlier. Um and then we need to set
a special meeting date uh to assign new

834
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:18,480
committee members and then to get some
things up active and running. So um if

835
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:22,800
we pull that up here in the next couple
of weeks, what does that look like? I

836
01:13:21,199 --> 01:13:26,080
mean, we're coming up on Memorial Day,
so I would assume at that point we're

837
01:13:24,480 --> 01:13:32,000
into maybe the first second week of
June. Um, and our regular council

838
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:38,880
meeting, I believe, is on June the 23rd,
if I'm not mistaken. So,

839
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:43,440
uh, does does a day work for council?
Um, actually third day be the 16th.

840
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:46,719
Third third Monday would be the 16th.
Thank

841
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:50,880
you. I've clearly been working way too
long. All

842
01:13:47,719 --> 01:13:54,400
right. So, first second week, uh, does
does, uh, anything work there for you

843
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:58,679
folks? Somebody want to toss out a day?
Wednesdays are typically bad for me.

844
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:05,840
With my upcoming travels, I'm just
hoping we do it before the fourth of

845
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:11,440
June. Before the 4th of June, correct?
Um, so can we shoot tenatively for the

846
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:16,560
second, which is a Monday, and do it do
it at 7 p.m.? Does that work? Works

847
01:14:14,239 --> 01:14:20,840
right. All right. Um then we'll get that
we'll work to get that posted um and go

848
01:14:19,920 --> 01:14:26,159
that
route. Get that posted on the website

849
01:14:23,760 --> 01:14:33,280
and then also on social media as well.
All right, that gives us that and then

850
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:39,239
from there we're coming down the end of
the

851
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:39,239
old trail here. All right.

852
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:50,000
Yard sales the first weekend of June.
Yes. I think. Well, yes. Seventh. Yeah,

853
01:14:47,199 --> 01:14:53,400
the seventh. Softball tournament. So,
June 9th.

854
01:14:54,239 --> 01:15:00,480
All right. I don't know if that matters.
What? They're having a softball

855
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:05,280
tournament June 9th. Oh, are they?
Girls. I guess that's just an FYI. All

856
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:09,960
they've asked for us for two barricades.
So, we'll have two barricades up there

857
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,960
for you.

858
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:18,760
It's more of a notice for me since my

859
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:26,600
Yes. I'd like to move to enter into
executive

860
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:31,360
session pursuant to Ohio Revised Code
section

861
01:15:28,199 --> 01:15:34,320
121-22 G1 to consider the discipline and
order dismissal of an employee in

862
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:38,280
matters that are required to be kept
confidential by law.

863
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:48,800
So, we
could start executive sesh. I would like

864
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:53,800
to make a motion that we hire Allen Sans
as part-time police officer.

865
01:15:51,840 --> 01:16:01,120
Well, I think that would be a separate
matter. Um, he's chief police. I Yeah, I

866
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:06,440
think think he is he's chief police
there. So, but he could still work part

867
01:16:03,199 --> 01:16:06,440
time here.

868
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:14,159
Yeah. Well, I I'll uh I'll happily
discuss that with you um afterwards. We

869
01:16:12,719 --> 01:16:18,719
could even cover that here in a few
minutes if you wanted to. Um the motion

870
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:23,199
that's on it on the table before us. Um
and then any invitations into that as

871
01:16:21,199 --> 01:16:29,040
well. Is the solicitor included into
that? Yeah.

872
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:33,520
Then then uh I guess we would do a roll
call vote on going into executive Seth.

873
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:38,719
Is that correct? I just want to clarify
that the motion is to and I'll get the

874
01:16:36,159 --> 01:16:38,719
language up

875
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:47,920
here. Was it council president that made
that motion? It was. Okay. So, council

876
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:52,880
president moved to enter into executive
